Hi Scarhart

Thank you for our post

It’s not clear if your son has got epilepsy. If he does , is he on epilepsy medicine and seeing a neurologist?

Regards

He does not have epilepsy .. but has seizures from Alcohol withdrawl ... Spent last 4 days in hospital in fear of having another seizure. Ended up with a diagnosis of ketoacidosis. I should probably post in a different section than epilspsey ?
